AP, via Washington Post: “[Hugh] Laurie, who masks his British accent to play the brilliant but difficult doctor in ‘House,’ said he had 172 people to thank. So he said he wrote their names on slips of paper and would choose three at random. He thanked the show’s script supervisor, hair stylist and, finally, his agent.”

UPI: “The British actor [Laurie] said had 172 people to thank. So he put 172 pieces of paper in his pocket and would pull out three names and ‘everyone else could just lump it.’”

London Times: “‘I made a list of all the people who deserve to be thanked. It came to 172 names,’ Laurie told the press on the red carpet outside the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where the ceremony was held. ‘I wrote the names, put them in my left hand trouser pocket. I’m going to draw out three and thank them, the rest can lump it.’”
